For the next three days, Hong Ling stayed at Jixia Academy's Martial Scripture Tower and read some of the golden books and jade books that he inherited from the ancient times. As for the cultivation techniques and secret manuals, Hong Ling did not really care. After he obtained the Jiuzhuan Profound Technique, he did not really take the other techniques very seriously. As for martial skills, for someone like him who had a Yanhuang Mirror, they were already of little use. Even though it was a so called Celestial Rank martial skill, in his hands, it no longer felt too mysterious. Any martial cultivator, once they broke through the barrier of Heaven's Mandate, would no longer feel the importance of martial skills created by their predecessors.
For an entire three days, Hong Ling used his powerful consciousness to finally read all of the ancient books that were opened to the outside world in the Martial Scripture Tower. As for the books that required special permission to view, although they held a certain amount of attraction to him, they did not cause him to feel regret over not being able to see them.
”Phew, I wonder if His Majesty's decree will be issued today. If that's the case, I should head back earlier!” Hong Ling smiled slightly, ”I wonder, when the son of the champion, Hong Qing, reappears in Tianqi City, what would the various major powers think of it?”
He walked out of the Martial Arts Pavilion, looked at Lian Chengyu and Zhihuo who were waiting outside and smiled slightly. After these few days of rest, Lian Chengyu's entire body was fully recovered, and his own strength had already reached the late stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit. Just like him, Zhihuo had also stepped into the late stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit, and when the two of them saw him coming out, they couldn't help but smile.
”Hong Ling, you're finally out. I heard that you have a mansion in your Tianqi City. Hurry, bring me and Zhihuo to take a look. Having been here for these few days, if it wasn't for the medicinal smell of the Heaven Medicine Pavilion, or this crappy Jixia Academy, I would probably suffocate to death! ” Lian Chengyu said straightforwardly, and even Zhihuo's eyes were filled with anticipation.
”I got it, I got it. Big Brother Lian Cheng, don't be in such a hurry.” Didn't Canfeng just drive the carriage over!? Hong Ling looked at the two of them with a slight headache. It seemed that the two of them were planning to stay in his residence for a long time.
When the three of them sat in the carriage and were about to rush back to the residence, Qingyao suddenly popped out from an unknown place. Without saying a word, he entered the carriage and sat down next to Hong Ling. Hong Ling didn't know why this fellow didn't return to her Changsheng Pavilion to continue being her alchemist, but looking at her, it seemed that she was in a good mood.
”Hey, Hong Ling, that old fogey Xiao Chuhe said, since you are my current boyfriend, then I can't live in the Longevity Pavilion or the academy anymore, I have to live in your home! I wonder if you have any objections to Vice Palace Master Xiao's words? ” Qingyao smiled, and nodded to Lian Chengyu and Zhihuo who were by his side.
”Do I have any objections?” Hong Ling said faintly with a bitter face.
”Hehe, that's good. ”Don't worry, I won't stay here for nothing. If you want to refine any pills, just tell me. I'll refine them for you as soon as I successfully forge the Hollow Dan Ascension Pill!” Qingyao laughed, his eyes full of heroism.
”You still haven't refined a Void Advancement Pill?” Hong Ling was a little stunned, ”Don't we already have the Purple Copper Cauldron? How can we not refine it?”
”Alchemy isn't that simple!” Qingyao sighed, ”The Void Initiation Pill is an Earth Ranked Spirit Pill, to refine it, is extremely difficult!”
It was a rare morning. After Hong Ling left the Martial Arts Hall, he only wanted to hurry home and eat breakfast to have a good rest. As for Qing Liu and the others, it was not difficult for them to check into the mansion. The mansion that Crippled Feng bought was huge enough that even if there were a few hundred people, it would be fine. However, the thought of Su Yu and Qing Liu making a ruckus would make Hong Ling's head hurt. ”Three women playing together, with the addition of Weaving Fire, I'm afraid the fighting will be fierce.
As the carriage reached the door, a loud noise was heard. Hong Ling frowned, he vaguely felt that something bad was happening. Everyone alighted from the carriage and was dragged to a stop by a servant. They then looked at the group of people gathered at the entrance.
”Hmm? Why is it him! ” Hong Ling looked at the middle-aged man who was currently leading them. It was none other than Fang He, who he had met before in the Longevity Pavilion. At this time, Fang He was dressed in a dark red alchemist robe, and beside him were a few other men who were similarly dark red robed. They were blocking the entrance, arguing with Su Yu and his son. Hong Ling frowned. This Fang He actually dared to bring people here to cause trouble.
”Everyone, masters, look. It is the owner of this mansion. A little brat who doesn't know his place, was acting so wildly in my Longevity Pavilion a few days ago. The old man just stared at him and said a few words, but he actually dared to spout such arrogant words, saying that the alchemists here are just a bunch of lowly alchemists, and even threw me and my followers out of the Longevity Pavilion onto the streets. Everyone, if we allow this person to be so arrogant, I'm afraid that we will no longer have the face to meet people from now on! ” Fang He had a heartbroken expression, and his eyes were filled with pity.
Hong Ling and the rest saw that he was engrossed, and could not help but snicker. This Fang He really didn't know his place. He actually dared to come knocking on the door. He really was bold.
”Isn't this Mr. Fang He?” Hong Ling faintly smiled, and took the lead to walk over with Canfeng, laughing heartily: ”What, does Mr Fang He want to play Pile of Arhat again? ”Today, you have specially come to find me so that I can help you?”
He spoke very earnestly, not showing the slightest trace of politeness. The moment Fang He saw that he still had Canfeng, his originally arrogant expression immediately changed. Especially when Canfeng, who was standing next to Hong Ling, clenched his fist and issued ”ka ka ka” sounds of bone cracking, Fang He somewhat fearfully shrank back.
”It's him. It's him. That brat who has no respect for us alchemists, it's him who insulted us!” Fang He pointed at Hong Ling with a shaky finger as he shrank into the crowd and roared.
